| akgraner | Good Morning from PyCon :-) after being here for only a day now I want to learn python | 15:39 |
|---|---|---|
| akgraner | maybe I do a developer side that wants to break out :-) | 15:40 |
| akgraner | mhall119, what's a book to start with? | 15:40 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: hmm, I didn't get a python book | 15:43 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: do you have experience in another programming language? | 15:44 |
| akgraner | then where should I start? I can't think of particular itch I want to scratch but I would like to lean more | 15:44 |
| akgraner | mhall119, ummm no remember NTEU here ;-) | 15:44 |
| mhall119 | yeah, an NTEU who want's to learn python, uh huh, I believe that | 15:45 |
| akgraner | pssshhh | 15:45 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: then personally, I'd suggest that you apt-get install laby | 15:45 |
| akgraner | yeah | 15:45 |
| mhall119 | it'll teach you basic programming constructs and introduce you to python's syntax | 15:45 |
| akgraner | gotcha | 15:46 |
| mhall119 | best of all, it gives you a specific goal, without you needing an itch to scratch | 15:46 |
| akgraner | great! | 15:46 |
| mhall119 | I got Michelle to do several levels of it a while back | 15:46 |
| mhall119 | and Quinn did a couple on his own too | 15:46 |
| akgraner | nice | 15:46 |
| akgraner | you rock! | 15:47 |
| * mhall119 has a rocking family | 15:47 | |
| akgraner | that you do! | 15:48 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: I assume you'll be at UDS-O | 15:49 |
| akgraner | I hope to be | 15:49 |
| akgraner | (if I get sponsored that is) | 15:49 |
| akgraner | mhall119, and congrats on the new job btw! | 15:50 |
| mhall119 | thanks | 15:50 |
| akgraner | I couldn't remember if I had already told you that or not... | 15:51 |
| mhall119 | you did | 15:51 |
| * akgraner days all run together right now | 15:51 | |
| mhall119 | ;) | 15:51 |
| akgraner | I feel very disjointed from all my community stuff..can't wait to get settled back into the house and get back on track with things | 15:52 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I bet | 15:52 |
| mhall119 | how much longer? | 15:52 |
| akgraner | as soon as we get the finaly check from the insurance company | 15:53 |
| akgraner | and then pay the builders their balance | 15:53 |
| akgraner | so hopefully next week | 15:53 |
| mhall119 | the constructions and all is finished though? | 15:53 |
| akgraner | yep | 15:53 |
| mhall119 | great | 15:54 |
| akgraner | now it's just the landscaping | 15:54 |
| akgraner | and bringing in more gravel | 15:54 |
| akgraner | and building the walkway | 15:54 |
| mhall119 | well, you can do all that after you've moved in too | 15:54 |
| akgraner | nods | 15:54 |
| * mhall119 needs to do some landscaping of his own | 15:54 | |
| mhall119 | by which I mean get off my rear and mow the lawn | 15:55 |
| akgraner | it feels like forever but really it's only been what 5 months | 15:55 |
| mhall119 | yeah, that's pretty fast, all things considered | 15:55 |
| akgraner | you all will have to come visit :-) | 15:56 |
| akgraner | door is always open for friends, but family has to make an appointment :-P | 15:56 |
| mhall119 | I hope now that we both have mobile jobs, that we can make more of the conferences in the south east | 15:57 |
| akgraner | mhall119, what are you all doing global jam and release party wise in sunny FL? | 15:57 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: cjohnston and I are going to spend the morning of the 1st hacking on summit | 15:57 |
| mhall119 | and itnet7 is doing somethin in melbourne | 15:58 |
| akgraner | oh joy! better you than me | 15:58 |
| mhall119 | hey, once you learn python... | 15:58 |
| akgraner | hehe | 15:58 |
| akgraner | :-) | 15:58 |
| mhall119 | we're hoping to improve the in-session screens for UDS | 15:59 |
| akgraner | cool | 15:59 |
| mhall119 | for both in-person and remote participants | 15:59 |
| akgraner | hey have you seen the Conventionist app - http://conventionist.com/getit/ | 16:00 |
| akgraner | we showed Jane it at SCaLE and I sent jono the information about it | 16:00 |
| mhall119 | akgraner: yeah, there's talk about using it for UDS if we can automate feeding session data to them | 16:00 |
| akgraner | that would so rock for UDS | 16:00 |
| mhall119 | we're supposed to have a conference call with their developers sometime soon | 16:01 |
| akgraner | evan is using it to and he said the same thing "we need that at uds" | 16:01 |
| mhall119 | yeah, the main concern at this point is that you have to email them a CSV file with the schedule, but UDS's schedule changes to often, even the day of | 16:01 |
| akgraner | let me know if I can help in anyway besides just gathering and forwarding the information | 16:01 |
| akgraner | nods | 16:02 |
| mhall119 | we have davidm driving it | 16:02 |
| mhall119 | if we can get them consume an ical or rss feed, then we'd be all set | 16:02 |
| akgraner | yep he was the one who showed it to me | 16:02 |
| mhall119 | he's the one arranging the conf call | 16:02 |
| akgraner | then I showed it to anyone and everyone I could find who said they didn't know about it | 16:02 |
| mhall119 | if we do it before the 1st, cjohnston and I can implement whatever is needed on our end | 16:03 |
| akgraner | sweet! :-) | 16:03 |
| akgraner | maybe we just need some write a uds app :-) | 16:03 |

| akgraner | laters | 16:03 |
| akgraner | ask pen what she is using to write accessibilty app | 16:04 |
| akgraner | I forget what it is but is is a tool to make mobile app writing easy (er) but we can talk more about that laters | 16:04 |
| mhall119 | spot specific? | 16:42 |
